Rick Porcello, P, Detroit Tigers

What's funny about this draft is I'll need just about every plate appearance and IP that I drafted. I hope I don't need to use my lowest pitcher or 2 that much. But I'm pretty close. Many times in these drafts you hit high salaries, IP and PA because you have so much cushion instead of quality available. By the way it looks like I came in at $93,763,186 for this draft. How's every one else expecting to fnish in salary?

I am right at $1000,000,000.. I am fine with my abs but not very confident with innings. What about. You guys?

My team will be at $98,311,516 with 1500 IP (1158 starter innings) and 6703 PA.

I agree sjh. At first glance I thought this would be a draft of excess. . .plenty to go around. WRONG. I don't know about this division, but in my division starting pitching got very thin, very quick. Very interesting draft and roster composition for sure. - Neb

sjh0825 you are saying you came in at $493763186 for the draft but u still have two more players to pick. Correct? And I hope to b at, if I get my last player .. 6,728 abs & 1628 innings On what NEBR noted I knew it was thin pitching also other than the top 4-6 guys after that a lot of those pitchers where pretty much the same about 15 more deep. the bullpens are going to be important to compete..
not sure I filled that well enough

Love my Indians. Started in 1968 with Sam McDowell, Luis Tiant, Tony Horton and Leon Wagner.
And yes the $93 Million+ was my final. I figured who I'd get in the last rounds and it happened.

Oh no! I must have misread the draft rules, because I thought that we had to draft a player from each of the 5 years for each of the 5 teams. So I thought we would each have 5 players from the Twins (one for each of the years 2013-2017), 5 players from the Royals (one from 2013, one from 2014...), etc.

There were at least 10 times I wanted to draft a player, but drafted someone else because I already had a player drafted in the same year and team (Ex: 2016 Indians). My bad.

Ouch!1 sorry to see that if that was what is how you read the rules from page one. I think you still did very well Matthew!

Thanks, pick1or2. It was a fun draft.

My last pick will be Eduardo Escobar, SS, Minnesota Twins.
